Getting Started:
Overview of How It Works
In standard ovens, there is radiant heating of the interior, and air move-
ment is relatively slow. A convection oven circulates heated air continuously
through the oven to maintain uniform temperature. As a result, convection
ovens heat more quickly and cook faster. The constant, gentle air flow is
what seals in juices, promotes browning and may shorten cooking time with-
out turning and basting. Note that some convection ranges run the fan more
slowly for baking and faster for roasting.
The best way to become a confident convection cooker is to try out your
favorite recipes using the features. Your Convection Oven can Keep Warm,
Bake, Broil, Rotisserie, Convection Toast and Convection Bake. The Oven
has a special recessed area to accommodate a 12” frozen pizza.
Please familiarize yourself with the following oven functions and accessories
prior to the first use:
•
Function Knob: This oven has 4 cooking modes (BROIL, BAKE, TOAST,
CONVECTION)
•
Temperature Knob: Choose desired temperature from LOW (150°F) to HIGH
(465°F)
•
Timer Knob: Turn control to the left (counter-clockwise) and the oven will STAY
ON until manually shut off. To activate timer, turn to right (clockwise) for other
use. A bell will sound at the end of the programmed time.
•
Indicator Light: It is illuminated whenever oven is turned on.
•
Grill Rack: For toasting, baking and general cooking in casserole dishes and
standard pans.
•
Food Tray: For use in broiling and roasting meat, poultry, fish and various
other foods.
BAKING AND TOASTING
You can use bakeware up to 9 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of
oven roasting bags or glass containers inside the oven that are not heat resistant.
NEVER use plastic, cardboard, paper or anything flammable in the oven.
NOTE: Position the rack in the lowest support guide.
POSITIONING OF THE RACK WHEN BAKING
Cookies and Pies– Use bottom or middle support guides.
Layer Cakes – Use bottom support guide only (bake one at a time).
Nuts, fruits and meats – Use bottom or middle support guides.
Pizza – Use the middle support guides.
This function is ideal for baking cake, in general.
Operation:
• Place the Grill Rack in the middle support guide.
• Place food to be cooked in Food Tray.
• Turn Function Knob to Bake.
• Turn Timer Knob to “ON”. Time accordingly and check progress with meat
thermometer to ensure it is cooked to your taste.
• To check or remove food, use Tray/Rack Removal Tool provided to help slide food
in and out.
• Turn Timer Knob to “O” when cooking is complete.
USING THE CONVECTION FUNCTION
Using the Convection Fan will help distribute the heat within the oven more evenly.
This results in food cooking much faster. This is ideal for browning or roasting of
certain foods.
Operation:
• Preheat oven as directed in recipe.
• Set Thermostat Knob to High.
• Turn FUNCTION Knob to Convection.
• Check baked goods for doneness 5–10 minutes before expected completion.
• Turn Timer Knob to “O” when complete.
